1964 Lincoln Continental Convertible on 2040-cars
Arlington, Texas, United States
|
This is a rare 1964 Lincoln Continental Convertible with bucket seats. The car runs and drives. I just spent 2500 dollars on carb rebuild and new brakes and a couple of other items. Please view all pictures and ask questions on anything and everything. The cars needs much work but for a few grand more you could have a decent very cool driver. The pictures make the car look better than it is to be honest. The panels are pretty darn straight but it will need a full paint job if you wish to have a shiny vehicle. There is a rust bubble on the right rear fender well. The rest of the body is fairly clean minus a ding or two. The bumpers have some rust as shown. The convertible top does not work. The motor turns and spins but does not engage the clamps above the windshield. The top is in very nice shape minus the rear window trim area which is coming apart but should not leak. The front power windows work including the quarter windows, the other windows do not. There are missing parts on the interior as shown in photos. Windows don't line up exact just based on the rear windows not working. The tail lights are not working or brake lights. I am sure this is an easy fix but cannot access since the trunk will not go up based on previous top comment. As mentioned it is a rare set up but this would be a better weekend cruiser than a full restoration vehicle as the cost would be astronomical. Items to address would be top, windows, lights then you could tinker and adjust thereafter. I have a box of little items such as the ashtray etc...There are alot of things that need tightening etc...so I hopefully think you get the picture.
As mentioned it runs and drives straight down the road and will make a cool driving, eye catching convertible with a little work but I am trying to give an accurate description so I won't get a "hey, I anticipated a really nice car and it is not". On May-18-14 at 11:41:55 PDT, seller added the following information: Lots of questions. When I say full restoration I am speaking in terms of any classic. I have a beautiful 58 356a but to put to museum is astronomical. This car with paint, top etc would look fantastic as panels etc are very nice but just want to inform. It is not the condition that some of these 20k convertibles are but with about 5-7 it would be. My reserve is much lower than that as to afford the new owner opportunity for growth. I am taking a bath on this as the individual I bought it off of told me all worked. I would rather not invest any more money in it My reserve is half of what I paid and is worth it. |

Hyundai, Kia, Genesis and Subaru clean up in IIHS 2018 safety ratings
Thu, Dec 7 2017Hyundai, its partner Kia and its Genesis division are the big winners in the latest vehicle safety ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, accounting for six of the 15 models that earned the Top Safety Pick+ awards for 2018. Subaru was right behind with four, Mercedes-Benz had two, and Toyota, BMW and Ford each had one. Another 47 vehicles earned the Top Safety Pick designation, where Toyota had 10 vehicle models, with Hyundai recognized for nine models. All but one of the seven vehicles in Subaru's lineup, the BRZ, qualified for one of the awards. IIHS strengthened the criteria for the Top Safety Pick+ award for 2018 to require headlights to earn a "good" rating — an "acceptable" rating was previously enough to notch the "plus" award — and good or acceptable passenger-side protection in the small overlap front crash, which replicates a crash involving just the front corner of a vehicle. It also required vehicles to have acceptable or good headlights for the first time to earn a Top Safety Pick award. Most of winners for both awards qualified on the basis of optional upgrades. IIHS in October began evaluating the passenger side of vehicles in its small overlap front crash test after it said it became clear that automakers were neglecting that side of the vehicle as they focused on improving driver-side protections. IIHS first began conducting driver-side small overlap crashes in 2012. It began measuring both how well low and high beams illuminated the road and the amount of glare they produce for oncoming vehicles as part of its ratings in 2016. The Top Safety Pick+ winners are listed below. The list doesn't include any minivans, pickups or minicars, which don't appear on either list of awardees. Small cars Kia Forte Kia Soul Subaru Impreza (sedan and wagon) Subaru WRX Midsize cars Subaru Legacy Subaru Outback Toyota Camry Large luxury cars BMW 5 series Genesis G80 Genesis G90 Lincoln Continental Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan Midsize SUVs Hyundai Santa Fe Hyundai Santa Fe Sport Midsize luxury SUV Mercedes-Benz GLC The full list of Top Safety Pick winners is available here.Related Video: Image Credit: IIHS BMW Genesis Hyundai Kia Lincoln Subaru Toyota Safety Crossover SUV Wagon Sedan crash test
RWD Lincolns are coming, fate depends partly on MKZ success
Tue, 04 Dec 2012The product portfolio at Lincoln may seem a bit sparse at the moment, but if a report is to be believed, new products are on the way. TheDetroitBureau.com spoke with sources at Lincoln and Ford, who claimed the American premium brand is working on, perhaps more than one, rear-wheel-drive vehicle.
Lincoln would likely platform-share with the next-generation Ford Mustang to develop those RWD offerings in the early going. Moving forward, the report indicates that Lincoln could take the lead on other rear-drive projects in the future. As the RWD architecture continues to take shape, "most or all" of the front-wheel-drive portfolio will also be offered with all-wheel drive as an option, ala Audi.
But wait, there's more! The report also suggests that a replacement for the full-size MKS is on the way, as well as a new Navigator and a luxury crossover based on the current Ford Escape.
Conan O'Brien takes McConaughey's Lincoln ad to its logical conclusion
Thu, 11 Sep 2014We all had to see this coming. Conan O'Brien has released a parody of Matthew McConaughey's new ads for the 2015 Lincoln MKC and remixed them with lines from one of his most critically acclaimed recent roles.
The now much darker commercial probably isn't how Lincoln would prefer the MKC to be marketed, but really in a few of the actual ads, McConaughey already seems moments away from breaking into a full Rustin Cohle from True Detective impression. The cadence and tone of his voice are just so close to that character, especially in the one where he's talking to the bull standing in the middle of the road. It very nearly verges on parody anyway; Conan is just turning all of this up to 11.
It's a little surprising that the writers didn't dig a little deeper into the McConaughey oeuvre for the parody. Maybe McConaughey could have taken the MKC for a party at the Moon Tower from Dazed and Confused. In any case, it's worth a quick watch, so check it out.
